We b ive no doubt he is correct, aud that his views will be -untamed by tho supremo court, if tho quesliuu in brought before them.

Attohnkt Gknkral's Ornci, JUth September, 1U.'0. J Sin: I have had the honor to receive your note of this date, informing nie that ihu bill commonly called the FiiL-itivH Slave Bill. havim oussfld both houses nf Congress, had been submitted to you for your consideration, approval aud signature, and requesting my opinion whether the sixth section of that act, and especially the Inst clause of that section, conflicts with the provision of the constitution which declares that the privilege of ilie writ of habeas corpus shall not he suspended, unless when, in cases of ivhelliou or invasion, the public safety may require it? " It is my lar conviction that there is nothing in the Inst clause, nor in any part of the sixCA section, nor indeed in any part of tho provisions of the act, which suspends, or was intended to susneud. the nrivileo of the writ of habeas corpus, or is in any manner in conflict wmi iiiecuiiainuunil. Tho constitution, in the emi section of the fourth article declares, that " no person held to aervicu or labor in one State, under tho laws thereof, escaping into uuotlier, shall in consequence of any law or regulation uioreiu, uu utscuarged i rum such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the oartv to whom such service or labor mav bo due." It is well known and admitted, historically mid judi-cially, that this clause of (he constitution was made for the purposo of securing to tho citizens of slavehold-ing Stub s the complete ownership iu iheir slaves, as property, in any mid every State or Territory of the Union into which they might escape. (Priggvn. Ctm-mmweatth of P,-nnlrama, l(i Pet. 53J.) It devolved on the general government, ns a BoJemii duty, to make that security etleeiunl. Their power was not only clear and full, but according to tho opinion of the court, in the above cited case, it was exclusive; the States, severally, lwiiig under uo obligation, aud having no power to maku laws or regulations iu respect to the delive-1 rv of fugitives. Thus the whole power, and with it the whole duty, at carrying into effect this important provision of tbo constitution was with Coutrress. And nccordinuly.soou alter the adoption of the constitution, me act oi mo I'.'th rehruary, U'Jii, was passed, and that proving iiiiHutisfactorv and inctlirieiit. hv reioM.it (among other causes) of aoino minor errors in itsdetnils, Congress are now attempting by this bill to discharge u constitutional obligation, by securing moro ellectual-ly Ihe delivery of fuiiive slaves to their owners. The sixth and most tnuteriul section in substance declares, uiai inn claimant ot the fugitive slave may nrrest and carry him before nuv one of ihe nflicers named mid de scribed in (lie bill, and provides that iheso officers mid each of iln-m shall have judicial power and juris- iciion to near, examine, and decide the case iu a summary manner ; that. j unoti such heariiiL'. tho cUimtint by the requisite proof, shall establish his claim to tho satisfaction of I he tribunal, thus constituted, Iho said tribunal shall give him a certificate, stating therein the substuii'ial facts of the caso, and authorizing him, with such reasonable force as mav bo necessin-v. in t .! and carry said fniiive back io the Suite or Territory vheiiro he or she may have esciiied, nnd then in con-liision proceeds us follows: " Tho cerlilicato in this ml the first section mentioned, shall be com-lnaivH of ihe right of Iho person or persons, iu whoso favor L-ranied, lo remove such fugitive lo tho State or Torn-lory from which lie escaped, and shall prevent all mo lestation of such person or persons hv iiuv nrocesa is sued by tiny conn, judge, magistrate, or other person whomsoever." There is not hi i iu in all this (hat dues not seem In mo lo be conaisieiit with tho Cniialitution, nnd necessary, indeed, lo redeem the pledge which ii contains that such fugitives " shall be delivored up oil ehiiiu " of their owners. The Supreme Court of the United States bus decla-d that the owner, independent of any aid from Settl or National legislation, may, in virtue of the Constitu-Hon and his own right of property, seize, nnd recapture his fugitive slavf, in whnl-oievcr Siate ho may find him, mid carry him back to theSiatoorTerritorv from which escaped. ( Pritttt vs. Commonwealth of Pennsylva nia. Hi Pet.-WM.) This bill, therefore, confers no nidi! the owner of ihe fueilivo slave! it oulv iivea hint an appointed and peaceable remedy, in place of ihe more exposed and insecure, but not less lawful, mode of sell-redress. And as lo the fugitive slave, he lias no a i iso to complain of this bill ; it adds no coercion tit that which In owner himself might, at Ids own will, rightfiily exercise; and all ihe proceedings which it institutes are but so much of orderly judicial authority, inieriHiaed between him and his owner, and consi-- piently of protection to him. und mitigation of the ex-'tcise directly by tho owner himsell of his norsmml authority. This is the constitutional und legal view of Ihe subject, as sanctioned by the decisions of Ihe Supreme Court; it lift to that I limit myself I he net of Ihe I .'lb t-ebruiiry, I7!U, belore alluded an t'ur M" it etfi'i'l any conaiilittiniml quealloii tbnt an time oul ol this lull, is identical with it. It umbo izes the like arrest of the fugitive slave, the like I rial. the like judgment, the like certificate, with the like authority In tho owner, by virtue of ihe rertilic ale as his warrant. In remove linn lo Hie Stale or Territory from which In escaped. And tho constitutionality of tlmt act, iu nil those particulars, has been affirmed by the ndjiidieuiiotis of State tribunals, nnd by the court of the United States, without n sioele dis'ciit. so Inr as I now. (Baldwin's C. t. R., .r77, 5711.) I conclude, therefore, that so far as the act of ihe pjth oruury, 17!':!, has been held lo beconstiiutional. this ill must nlao bo so re pan led. and that Ihe custody, re straint, and removal, to which the fugitive slavo may be subjected, under iho provisions nf this bill, are all lawful, and thai tho certificate In be granted to the owner is to be regarded as the act and judgment of a jiioiciai irniuiiai Having ciunpeicui jurisdiction. With these lemarks lo (he constitutionality of the general provisions of the bill, anil the consequent legality of the custody nnd confinement lo which the fugi. slave may bo subjected under it, I proceed lo a brief consideration of the more particular question you have propounded in reference to the wiit uf habetiseor- put, and ol lie-Inst c lause of the aiA serliou, above juoted, which gives rise to that question, Mv opinion, as before exincssed, is, that there is no thing iu Ihat clause or section which conflicts with, or susjienils. or was intended to susjieiid, the privilege nf the writ of halteas corpus. I think to, iK-cause (he lull says not one word about that writ; because, by the Constitution, Congress ia expresdy fnibiddeu to sus pend the privilege n tins writ, " unless when in rases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it ;" and therefore the suspension of I h in art (there being neither rebellion nor invasion) would be a plain and palpable violation of ihe Constitution, aud no in- nti'in to commit such a violation of the Constitution, of their duty, and their oaths, ought to be imputed to ihein upon mere constructions and implications; ami ihiidlv, because there is no incompatibility between these provisions of the bill and ihe privilege of the writ nf habeas corpus, in Its utmost constitutional latitude. 4J one less, in Ihe ease ol luL'Mtve slaves, as in all old-r cases within 'he aroint of its constitutional authority, has Ihe unquestionable right lo onluin nnd prescribe, lot whnt causes, lo what extent, and in what manner. persons may be taken into cosmdw detained or impris oned. Without i his power they con Id not fulfil their nustitnimnni trust, nor periorm toe ordinary ami lie-essurvdnlies of .'overuinent. It was never hoard thai theexeri tan of that cftihtine power waanuy encnmi h-mnnt 1ihiii or suspension "f the privilege of the halvnt carput. It is only by some confusion ol id that such n conflict can lie supposed to exist. It ib not within the province nr privilege of this cn-at writ to loose those whom the law has bound. That would be to put a writ granted by Ihe law, in opposition to ihe law lo make one part of the law deslrurlive of another. 1 his writ follows the law, and obeys Ihe law. It is issued upon proper complaint, to make impiiry into the causes oi couimiiuietii or iiiipri-ouinem, nuu its sine rerncuiai power and poriiosn is In tlemer iho party Irom "nil manner of illegal confinetiieiit. (3 Black. Com,, 131.) If. u i ou nnitinntioii to Hie court or juilu'e for Ibis writ, or il. upon its reiiirn, it shall appear (hat tho confine ment complained of was lawful, the will in Ihe first in stance would be refused, nnd ill (lie lust the parly would be rem a tided to his lormer tartnl custody. The condition of one in custody al a fugitive slave, under the law, so far as inspects the writ of habeas cor- ps, is precisely the same as thai of all other prisoners under the laws of Ihe United Slates. The prlvilegenl that writ rmntins alike to all of them, but to be judg ed of granted or refused discharged or enlorced hv the proper tribunal, according to ihe circumstances of each ca-e, and ns the rotninilmetit and detention mav appear to be legal or illegal. 'I ho whole effect of the law may bn thus briefly stated: Congress has constituted a tribunal with exclusive juri-diction, to determine summarily, and without appeal, who are fugitives from service or labor under Ihe semarf section of the f,mrth article of ihe Constitu-lion, nnd to whom such service or labor is due. The tidiiineut of every tribuual of exclusive jurisdiction, where no appeal lies, is of necessity conclusive upon every other li ibuual. ami ibeiefore the imminent id ihe tribunal created by tins act is conclusive uhui all tri-1 buiirtls. Wherever this judgment is made lo aptenr, il is conclusive of Ihe right of the owm-r lo retain in his custody lli' fugitive lioni his service, and to remove him back to the place or Stale from which he escaped. It it is shown upon the application of the fugitive lor a writ 'if halx-a corpus, it prevents the issuing of the wril if upon ihe return, il discharm-a ihe writ and restores or maintains the custody. This view of the law of this rase ia fully sustained by the decision of the) Supreme Court of the United Slates in the rase of ToIhom Wiitkins, where the Court refused to discharge, Umih the ground that he was iu custody under the sentence of n court of competent ju-risdii lion, nnd thai judgment was conclusive upon them.

It will be remembered tlmt the Whig Convention that assembled at Syracuse, a few days since, nomiua led Washington Hunt for Governor, aud a whole Whig ticket. When the resolutions came up a difficulty arose, and forty of the do'egatos withdrew and issued a call for another State Convention to assemble nt Ulica on the 17th imdant. This second Convention bus just concluded its labors and adjourned. Tlje principal ground of difference was about tho resolution approving of Mr. Skward's course as Senator in Cigress. A large majority cd' ihe Convention emphatically indorsed his course, and resolutions to that effect were adopted. Thereupon the delegates opposed to him withdrew. The new litica Convention orgmu'.ed by calling Hon. Francis Qranokk to tho chair. Ho mndo a speech of some length, which we fitid reported iu iho Tribune. Speeches were ulso made by Hon.

The Whig lakes decided ground in favor of tho Union, against the aeceders. Alter slating a determined ifiurt will be made at the next session to repeal this law, the Whig remarks as follows: It js needless, we fear, for Sou'heru papers now to remonstrate with the Northern jteople, and warn them of ihe inevitable aud fea'iul consequences which must result from iwrsevering in such a course. The time lor that may have almost past. Our remonstrances tire unheeded, our warnings treated with contempt. The N-ople of the South may have to consider I lie grave and importiml question of nqienl as an issue bIhuh which, when once imriy made, there should ho no dis agreement. If a sufficient majority can Ite found to repeal iho fugitive law then, in our Immble opinion, the value of the Union will bn speedily c alculated. 1 a majority nf the people deliberately violate a riidit secured to us by the constitution, it will be impossible In maintain wilh ihein eacehil and fraternal relations.

In fruming a law of that nature it were completely idle to think that its results would beneficial by subduing the agitation which had been so long existing. On the contrary, it could scarcely fail to keep up ihe excitement, whenever attempted to be enforced, uud to increase it tenfold whenever, by it, a negro should be returned to shivery. It acts so con trary to the feelings of almost the entire North, thai it is impossible to suppose that the latter can give it their free sanction and aid in ils enforcement.

They had uo stoves on iho cars, but thev did have a wedding party. Jerry folded himself un bkn ic knife. and went to sleep about daylight. Jerry dreamed it makes no difference what ho dreamed but he waa awakened from his nip by loud laughter. Jerry Nnbe ia a senate oui lenow in specs, and noise ot louil laughter disgusts him. He reared up, and in the cold gray lawn, s iw, in ins horror, a wedding party. A wedding tturty is a verv uooil tldnir in ils wnv i but it seems to be much iu ttie way of Jerry. It wakened him up, and he looked at the crowd. There was a young lady, rather pretty, with a dimple ou the end of her nose. (Jerry don't think a dimple ou tho end of a lady's nose adds much to her personal scenerv. Sho was hooked on to a fellow tnft'ering much from a new silk hat. Hi exiremiliet teemed afflicted with new gloves ami liht hoots. A new claw-hammer coat, ol a blue color, sett oft wnb buttons like stars, troubled bis hnck, and didn't set at ease itself. These wo were assisted iu Ibeir misery by four othert, who ieeoied to have robbed their trunks to make themselves uncomfortable. Jerry tried to sleep but could not; the people would laugh, uud as they laughed at nothing Jerry could not join in. Ho picked up his hat and found they had been taking unwarrantable liberties with it. He fished something out of his tile very heavy, and carried it to the lighi. Jerry thinks ; he don't know, but he hat an idea it was wedding enke. It looked very like putty and cream well mixed. We think it was wedding cake. At tho Willow Springs the can made a thort stay. A stay of two minutes. Tho gentleman just married thought ho would step out, take a look at the country and exercise his cramped limbs. While he was engaged ill this pleasant occupation tho cars started Jerry wus on the platform of ihe last car when this cat-ualiiy occurred. He taw the gentleman start as the candid. He heard a scream, the lady rushed out, and Jerry just had lime tn can h her, and to prevent a fearful leap, 'fhe cars were speeding on, the lover wai panting behind. The cars gained on the husband but the husband still run. The scene nt tint moment, snyt Jerry, wnt intensely exciiitiug but by uo meant promising. The young husband siunied hit ton and fell, but gathered up aud again run. Jerry pulled the rope that runs along the lop of the cars, but fatal mistake, the locomotive increased its speed. "Edward, oh! Edwnid." sereiiuiid the bride. " Anna Marin " came fniully born npm the breeze and the husband disappeared in the distance. Tho la dv fainted. Railroads go ahead if canals and rivers, and in this instance ahead of matrimony iUelf. Cin. Dispatch. Jkm.iy Limp in Cincinnati.

Attohnkt Gknkral's Ornci, JUth September, 1U.'0. J Sin: I have had the honor to receive your note of this date, informing nie that ihu bill commonly called the FiiL-itivH Slave Bill. havim oussfld both houses nf Congress, had been submitted to you for your consideration, approval aud signature, and requesting my opinion whether the sixth section of that act, and especially the Inst clause of that section, conflicts with the provision of the constitution which declares that the privilege of ilie writ of habeas corpus shall not he suspended, unless when, in cases of ivhelliou or invasion, the public safety may require it? " It is my lar conviction that there is nothing in the Inst clause, nor in any part of the sixCA section, nor indeed in any part of tho provisions of the act, which suspends, or was intended to susneud. the nrivileo of the writ of habeas corpus, or is in any manner in conflict wmi iiiecuiiainuunil. Tho constitution, in the emi section of the fourth article declares, that " no person held to aervicu or labor in one State, under tho laws thereof, escaping into uuotlier, shall in consequence of any law or regulation uioreiu, uu utscuarged i rum such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the oartv to whom such service or labor mav bo due." It is well known and admitted, historically mid judi-cially, that this clause of (he constitution was made for the purposo of securing to tho citizens of slavehold-ing Stub s the complete ownership iu iheir slaves, as property, in any mid every State or Territory of the Union into which they might escape. (Priggvn. Ctm-mmweatth of P,-nnlrama, l(i Pet. 53J.) It devolved on the general government, ns a BoJemii duty, to make that security etleeiunl. Their power was not only clear and full, but according to tho opinion of the court, in the above cited case, it was exclusive; the States, severally, lwiiig under uo obligation, aud having no power to maku laws or regulations iu respect to the delive-1 rv of fugitives. Thus the whole power, and with it the whole duty, at carrying into effect this important provision of tbo constitution was with Coutrress. And nccordinuly.soou alter the adoption of the constitution, me act oi mo I'.'th rehruary, U'Jii, was passed, and that proving iiiiHutisfactorv and inctlirieiit. hv reioM.it (among other causes) of aoino minor errors in itsdetnils, Congress are now attempting by this bill to discharge u constitutional obligation, by securing moro ellectual-ly Ihe delivery of fuiiive slaves to their owners. The sixth and most tnuteriul section in substance declares, uiai inn claimant ot the fugitive slave may nrrest and carry him before nuv one of ihe nflicers named mid de scribed in (lie bill, and provides that iheso officers mid each of iln-m shall have judicial power and juris- iciion to near, examine, and decide the case iu a summary manner ; that. j unoti such heariiiL'. tho cUimtint by the requisite proof, shall establish his claim to tho satisfaction of I he tribunal, thus constituted, Iho said tribunal shall give him a certificate, stating therein the substuii'ial facts of the caso, and authorizing him, with such reasonable force as mav bo necessin-v. in t .! and carry said fniiive back io the Suite or Territory vheiiro he or she may have esciiied, nnd then in con-liision proceeds us follows: " Tho cerlilicato in this ml the first section mentioned, shall be com-lnaivH of ihe right of Iho person or persons, iu whoso favor L-ranied, lo remove such fugitive lo tho State or Torn-lory from which lie escaped, and shall prevent all mo lestation of such person or persons hv iiuv nrocesa is sued by tiny conn, judge, magistrate, or other person whomsoever." There is not hi i iu in all this (hat dues not seem In mo lo be conaisieiit with tho Cniialitution, nnd necessary, indeed, lo redeem the pledge which ii contains that such fugitives " shall be delivored up oil ehiiiu " of their owners. The Supreme Court of the United States bus decla-d that the owner, independent of any aid from Settl or National legislation, may, in virtue of the Constitu-Hon and his own right of property, seize, nnd recapture his fugitive slavf, in whnl-oievcr Siate ho may find him, mid carry him back to theSiatoorTerritorv from which escaped. ( Pritttt vs. Commonwealth of Pennsylva nia. Hi Pet.-WM.) This bill, therefore, confers no nidi! the owner of ihe fueilivo slave! it oulv iivea hint an appointed and peaceable remedy, in place of ihe more exposed and insecure, but not less lawful, mode of sell-redress. And as lo the fugitive slave, he lias no a i iso to complain of this bill ; it adds no coercion tit that which In owner himself might, at Ids own will, rightfiily exercise; and all ihe proceedings which it institutes are but so much of orderly judicial authority, inieriHiaed between him and his owner, and consi-- piently of protection to him. und mitigation of the ex-'tcise directly by tho owner himsell of his norsmml authority. This is the constitutional und legal view of Ihe subject, as sanctioned by the decisions of Ihe Supreme Court; it lift to that I limit myself I he net of Ihe I .'lb t-ebruiiry, I7!U, belore alluded an t'ur M" it etfi'i'l any conaiilittiniml quealloii tbnt an time oul ol this lull, is identical with it. It umbo izes the like arrest of the fugitive slave, the like I rial. the like judgment, the like certificate, with the like authority In tho owner, by virtue of ihe rertilic ale as his warrant. In remove linn lo Hie Stale or Territory from which In escaped. And tho constitutionality of tlmt act, iu nil those particulars, has been affirmed by the ndjiidieuiiotis of State tribunals, nnd by the court of the United States, without n sioele dis'ciit. so Inr as I now. (Baldwin's C. t. R., .r77, 5711.) I conclude, therefore, that so far as the act of ihe pjth oruury, 17!':!, has been held lo beconstiiutional. this ill must nlao bo so re pan led. and that Ihe custody, re straint, and removal, to which the fugitive slavo may be subjected, under iho provisions nf this bill, are all lawful, and thai tho certificate In be granted to the owner is to be regarded as the act and judgment of a jiioiciai irniuiiai Having ciunpeicui jurisdiction. With these lemarks lo (he constitutionality of the general provisions of the bill, anil the consequent legality of the custody nnd confinement lo which the fugi. slave may bo subjected under it, I proceed lo a brief consideration of the more particular question you have propounded in reference to the wiit uf habetiseor- put, and ol lie-Inst c lause of the aiA serliou, above juoted, which gives rise to that question, Mv opinion, as before exincssed, is, that there is no thing iu Ihat clause or section which conflicts with, or susjienils. or was intended to susjieiid, the privilege nf the writ of halteas corpus. I think to, iK-cause (he lull says not one word about that writ; because, by the Constitution, Congress ia expresdy fnibiddeu to sus pend the privilege n tins writ, " unless when in rases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it ;" and therefore the suspension of I h in art (there being neither rebellion nor invasion) would be a plain and palpable violation of ihe Constitution, aud no in- nti'in to commit such a violation of the Constitution, of their duty, and their oaths, ought to be imputed to ihein upon mere constructions and implications; ami ihiidlv, because there is no incompatibility between these provisions of the bill and ihe privilege of the writ nf habeas corpus, in Its utmost constitutional latitude. 4J one less, in Ihe ease ol luL'Mtve slaves, as in all old-r cases within 'he aroint of its constitutional authority, has Ihe unquestionable right lo onluin nnd prescribe, lot whnt causes, lo what extent, and in what manner. persons may be taken into cosmdw detained or impris oned. Without i his power they con Id not fulfil their nustitnimnni trust, nor periorm toe ordinary ami lie-essurvdnlies of .'overuinent. It was never hoard thai theexeri tan of that cftihtine power waanuy encnmi h-mnnt 1ihiii or suspension "f the privilege of the halvnt carput. It is only by some confusion ol id that such n conflict can lie supposed to exist. It ib not within the province nr privilege of this cn-at writ to loose those whom the law has bound. That would be to put a writ granted by Ihe law, in opposition to ihe law lo make one part of the law deslrurlive of another. 1 his writ follows the law, and obeys Ihe law. It is issued upon proper complaint, to make impiiry into the causes oi couimiiuietii or iiiipri-ouinem, nuu its sine rerncuiai power and poriiosn is In tlemer iho party Irom "nil manner of illegal confinetiieiit. (3 Black. Com,, 131.) If. u i ou nnitinntioii to Hie court or juilu'e for Ibis writ, or il. upon its reiiirn, it shall appear (hat tho confine ment complained of was lawful, the will in Ihe first in stance would be refused, nnd ill (lie lust the parly would be rem a tided to his lormer tartnl custody. The condition of one in custody al a fugitive slave, under the law, so far as inspects the writ of habeas cor- ps, is precisely the same as thai of all other prisoners under the laws of Ihe United Slates. The prlvilegenl that writ rmntins alike to all of them, but to be judg ed of granted or refused discharged or enlorced hv the proper tribunal, according to ihe circumstances of each ca-e, and ns the rotninilmetit and detention mav appear to be legal or illegal. 'I ho whole effect of the law may bn thus briefly stated: Congress has constituted a tribunal with exclusive juri-diction, to determine summarily, and without appeal, who are fugitives from service or labor under Ihe semarf section of the f,mrth article of ihe Constitu-lion, nnd to whom such service or labor is due. The tidiiineut of every tribuual of exclusive jurisdiction, where no appeal lies, is of necessity conclusive upon every other li ibuual. ami ibeiefore the imminent id ihe tribunal created by tins act is conclusive uhui all tri-1 buiirtls. Wherever this judgment is made lo aptenr, il is conclusive of Ihe right of the owm-r lo retain in his custody lli' fugitive lioni his service, and to remove him back to the place or Stale from which he escaped. It it is shown upon the application of the fugitive lor a writ 'if halx-a corpus, it prevents the issuing of the wril if upon ihe return, il discharm-a ihe writ and restores or maintains the custody. This view of the law of this rase ia fully sustained by the decision of the) Supreme Court of the United Slates in the rase of ToIhom Wiitkins, where the Court refused to discharge, Umih the ground that he was iu custody under the sentence of n court of competent ju-risdii lion, nnd thai judgment was conclusive upon them.

J. J. CHITTENDEN WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCT011KII 2:1, 18.10. New York Whiff Convention. It will be remembered tlmt the Whig Convention that assembled at Syracuse, a few days since, nomiua led Washington Hunt for Governor, aud a whole Whig ticket. When the resolutions came up a difficulty arose, and forty of the do'egatos withdrew and issued a call for another State Convention to assemble nt Ulica on the 17th imdant. This second Convention bus just concluded its labors and adjourned. Tlje principal ground of difference was about tho resolution approving of Mr. Skward's course as Senator in Cigress. A large majority cd' ihe Convention emphatically indorsed his course, and resolutions to that effect were adopted. Thereupon the delegates opposed to him withdrew. The new litica Convention orgmu'.ed by calling Hon. Francis Qranokk to tho chair. Ho mndo a speech of some length, which we fitid reported iu iho Tribune. Speeches were ulso made by Hon. James Brooks, Hi. ram Kouhum, Mr. Duer, Jo. Hoxie, J. A. Collier, &c. The Convention then, wilh great unanimity ro-nomi tod Mr. Hunt and the whole of the Whig ticket for Slate officers, and pledged ihein their "hearty and united support, Thus, while they quarrel about Seward, they unite on tho Whig ticket. We have every reason to btdievo (hut the Whig Slate ticket will be chosen by a heavy majority. The time to Subscribe. To i.ivg Whios !

We propose to preuch a very short, but we trust, very ollective sermon, from the above text. Now is truly the time to subscribe for the Ohio Slate Journal. We wish to remind those who commenced with ihe cash, and pay-in-advunce system, last year, that their timo will expire on tho 1st of December. Wo hope ihey will nol forget that Congress, tho Legislature ami ihe Constitutional Convention iheii nssemble, and it will: be peculiarly unfortunate tn bo without a Columbus' paper just about that time. This winter will be one of much interest in our history. Wo trust that our old subscribers will bear iu mind tho lime fur subscribing, and look to it in season, both for their good and for ours. We hope to retain all our old patrons and wo trust they will make an effort in every township to DOUBLE the number of their clubs. This can easily be done. To those upou whose shoulders it usual I) fulls to do the dtctioncering, and labor in the several counties, wn wish to say a word. All oxerience shows that the Whigs who " take the papers " are the active, Ure ones, and need no Biirring up just before elections. It is th at great elms of persons who do not read ihat require attention through the county. Let us any, that one py in getting subscribers for a good Whig pijwr is worth more than four days of ordinary electioneering. Il saves tine hereafter. It diffuses impuriuut political intelligence. It keeps tho reader posted on important questions. It keeps alive and glowing the faith that is within him. Wo ho ut working friends ail over ihe State will think of this, and act as wisdom and truo policy dictates. Is it asking too much of our friends to hope thoy will, every where, imitate the elforts of the subscriber lo the Marietta Intelligencer, referred to above t Whon you nssemble together at the store or Iho blacksmith shop, or the school house, or any other place, will you ask each other the question, how you can do the most good lo your country and your party wilh the h ast expense and labor 1 Wk tell you it c all be so done by subscribing lor the Journal, and inducing your neigh bors to tin likewise.

We take the following from the Richmond (Vii.) Whig, us a specimen of the spirit displayed by the calmest portion of the Southern papers. The Whig lakes decided ground in favor of tho Union, against the aeceders. Alter slating a determined ifiurt will be made at the next session to repeal this law, the Whig remarks as follows: It js needless, we fear, for Sou'heru papers now to remonstrate with the Northern jteople, and warn them of ihe inevitable aud fea'iul consequences which must result from iwrsevering in such a course. The time lor that may have almost past. Our remonstrances tire unheeded, our warnings treated with contempt. The N-ople of the South may have to consider I lie grave and importiml question of nqienl as an issue bIhuh which, when once imriy made, there should ho no dis agreement. If a sufficient majority can Ite found to repeal iho fugitive law then, in our Immble opinion, the value of the Union will bn speedily c alculated. 1 a majority nf the people deliberately violate a riidit secured to us by the constitution, it will be impossible In maintain wilh ihein eacehil and fraternal relations. The relies I of thai law would iu etlect bo a flee I a ration on the part "I the North that they Would uu longer ob serve that provision of the constitution nnd the com I mic t of Union would at once be broken by their own deliberate act.

The decision of th Attorney General. Mr. Critteli-'ii, that " the fugitive slave bill " does not suqiend the "habeas corpus,'' bus somewhat calmed Ihe feelings of our people relative lo that disgraceful law. Sid) the impression continues to prevail very strougly that it shun id be repealed at the uext sessiou of Oongross, or greatly modified. In fruming a law of that nature it were completely idle to think that its results would beneficial by subduing the agitation which had been so long existing. On the contrary, it could scarcely fail to keep up ihe excitement, whenever attempted to be enforced, uud to increase it tenfold whenever, by it, a negro should be returned to shivery. It acts so con trary to the feelings of almost the entire North, thai it is impossible to suppose that the latter can give it their free sanction and aid in ils enforcement. This latter esgiocially, will not lie done to any great ox tent, and when the slave-c.itcher appeHrs to regain bit to called property, we may, in every instance., anticipate much commotion, ending always iu a deeper and deeper teei ng against " (he peculiar institution."
